Wow! Great food. Chill vibe despite being packed. Organic as available. Locally sourced. Superior service. Separate fryer for GF fries. Best sweet potato fries EVER. Worth a special trip to Concourse C at DIA ♥

GF items are clearly marked on menu and server was very knowledgeable on what could be made GF, as well as celiac safe food prep. Chilaquiles were exceptional, and fried potatoes, eggs, and bacon was delicious as well. All were made celiac safe, no issues.

Almost all the menu could be made gluten free. Food came out with an “allergy” marker on it which always makes me feel better. Delicious, locally sourced food and I had no reaction.

The food was excellent. Had lump crab cake and avocado jicama tacos, spouse had lamb burger sliders and I had rock fish. Tried both entries. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I am very sensitive (cross contamination) and have eaten here several times without issues. Highly recommend for nervous people.

Have eaten here twice. Has been my favorite place of those I’ve tried since my daughter moved to Denver. The food is interesting and delicious, and they have tons of GF options. Tonight all the apps & meals our table of 4 ordered were already gluten free! Dessert was the highlight tonight. The chocolate bomb was SO good. I love it when I can eat gourmet GF food and not something plain and boring.
